heya
so these drawings are kind of the first drawings I did after I decided to
officially try and be a practising artist.
I was living in Williamsburg Brooklyn and in love.
All of these drawings were done in one go one night in an attic apartment in Weehaken New Jersey ( my boyfriend at the times' place )
Weehaken is a town just on the other side of the Hudson River perched high on a cliff face over looking Manhattan
it was a fantastic sight to see the city unfold as you exited the tunnel in the gypsy bus ( or `Talibus` as we called it .. thinking we would be blown up inside the tunnel by the driver - yes people were scared ) that left from Port Authority / 42nd Street every 20 mins
It was both a beautiful time in my life and also frightening as September 11th happened during this time and the city shifted in many fundamental ways...never to be the same
funnily enough, the drawings are about my home where I spent the first 10 years of my life and the isolation and need to escape from the suburban hum drum and vice
